Photo of the Day: Beyond the Blue Door

Blue Door

Blue Door

Doesn't this door just look like an enchanted portal to a magical realm? OK...maybe I just have an active imagination. Well, I discovered this passageway at Rancho Sisquoc winery in northern Santa Barbara county one late afternoon recently and it definitely drew me in. The cobalt blue door, the red and green vines, the warm dappled sunlight. It was obvious that the ingredients for an image were present, it was a matter of arranging the elements. I tried a few different compositions and this is the one that felt the most right. There's a lot more photographs to be made on the grounds of  this picturesque winery. It's a bit off the beaten path, but a gorgeous drive especially in the Winter and early Spring when the rolling hills on the way are vivid green. If you go, say hi to Becky and Alex in the tasting room and don't miss their River Red blend. Delicious.
